By - Aanya

Very few women in the world give shape to the adage - life starts @ 50. Three women from India did it and the best part is, that their news is trending as the top news on Bhaarat Bol News above some of the iconic stars like Katrina Kaif, Radhika Apte and Academy Award winner, Sir Ben Kingsley.

Anshu says that the film idea came at the spur of the moment as Amrita, Madhur and she sat eating ice-cream!

"The discussion was, having achieved everything in life, what more can we do to be remembered by people, long after we are gone", chuckles Madhur Sharma

"And we decided that we want to be actresses, now", Amrita adds with a dash of smile. Amrita continues "and here we are with this amazing short film that will soon be released on OTT's".


The three thanked Bhaarat Bol News team for covering the news, "but most importantly, the readers, that found the news interesting and made it trend as number one news", Amrita signs off, as she speaks for the femme-troika!

Teen Deviyaan - Amrita Vijay Tata Ravipati, Anshu Mudgal, Madhur Sharma Debut Making A Defining Statement

Aanya


Have you heard the saying it's a "Woman's World"!

Three ladies have put this saying to practice in the most literal form, making an assertive style-statement!

Each of them is making their debut at the age of 50+, an age when most of the women, not only in India, but across the world - are at crossroads because of the social structure worldwide.

Madhur Sharma, says that she feels age is just a number. "I mean look at Amitabh Bachchan at the age of 83 he towered above superstars like Prabhas and Deepika Padukone or the IG sensation Disha Patani in Kalki 2898 AD, so why do we women feel that life is over by 60 or 70".

Madhur should know, together with Anshu Mudgal, she launched one of the most prestigious awards held both in India and Dubai.

Anshu says that the reason she acted in the short film, "Women In Cannes" was, "just like Dhurandhar, the film makes one of the chapters in "An Actor In Cannes", who knows I might see myself on the big-screen in a multiplex or cinema soon".

Amrita Vijay Tata Ravipati says that after winning a beauty pageant with unprecedented votes, "I was looking at something really substantial to make debut with. What i really liked about the filming process was the absolute clarity of the director, about what he wanted".

Nancy and Ashley who very actively took part in the film, and did a cameo as well, said "It is our first acting experience and we loved the whole vibe of the experience".

Multi-award winning film-maker, Amit R Agrwal said that "I had an opportunity to distribute and market this short film worldwide on multiple OTT's. I was looking for the right concept, one of my interns Pallavi gave me the concept and here I am shooting the film".

The film will premier soon on OTT's worldwide and might be a part of the feature film Honey Kapoor YoLo that will screen in cinemas and multiplexes across the world during film-festivals soon.

BBN Internship Program 2026 l AlUla and the Rise of Meaningful Travel Experiences

By - Jui Deshpande


Travel today is evolving. Instead of being solely focused on luxury and iconic sites, today’s travel incorporates atmosphere, culture and connection to provide more significant travel experiences for the traveller. A destination that has been receiving attention due to celebrity visit but also highlights the area’s natural and cultural beauty.

AlUla, in northwestern Saudi Arabia, is a site characterised by its dramatic sandstone cliffs, vast desert landscapes and the many centuries old stories it has preserved through time. AlUla’s ‘Old Town’ features old mud-brick houses and narrow passageways that embody the sense of history and culture that can still be found there. Travelling through the Old Town’s softly lit paths creates less of a touristy experience and more of a journey back in time and travelling through terrain.

The landscape is natural and simplistic; therefore, the destination is not depicted as extravagant. Instead, the photographs portray AlUla to be an area of peace, earth-like colours and ample spaces of desert. The description ‘Old Town charm’ provides a sense of how so many people visiting AlUla experience the area; a place where beautiful scenes are experienced without the glittering light of tourism.

While celebrity visits often bring visibility, they also highlight a broader trend in travel. Today’s travelers, especially younger ones, are increasingly drawn toward destinations that offer cultural depth, history, and a sense of place rather than just luxury. In AlUla, ancient archaeological heritage, dramatic desert views, and preserved architecture combine to create an immersive travel experience rather than a staged one.

Social media and visual storytelling have further shaped this interest. By blending landscape, mood, and personal perspective, they turn destinations like AlUla into places people want to experience, not just observe. Much of AlUla’s appeal lies in its authenticity, the raw beauty of its terrain, the texture of its architecture, and a rare sense of stillness often missing in fast-paced tourism.

Travel is changing. It highlights how travellers are increasingly seeking something more, something new and authentic connection through their journeys. As culturally rich destinations gain attention worldwide, AlUla continues to emerge as a place where landscape, heritage, and experience come together in a uniquely compelling way.

Cinema l The Kerala Story 2

By - Amit kumaR Agarwal


The hard-hitting The Kerala Story 2 braved the storm and after the Kerala High Court Division Bench lifted the stay on the film, the film released in the evening shows at multiplexes and cinemas all over India.

The industry is divided w.r.t. BO outcome of the movie. Rakesh, a renowned distributor from Delhi says that the stalled release has definitely affected the BO of the movie, "there were many audiences that were turned away at multiple properties in the morning and afternoon saying The Kerala Story 2 isn't releasing today (February 27, 2026) - now how will they be brought back to cinemas?"

Rakesh has a valid point. Film PR expert Sonia says "there should be ban on filing cases against movies -say 30 days prior to a films' release. Everyone knew what The Kerala Story 2 was about, why did the petitioners wait till the very end, the movie was to release?

Nitin an exhibitor says, "Yes the harm to the film has been done, but I am very hopeful that the film will grow on word-of-mouth and will be a success like The Kerala Story".

Here's hoping that the BO that has seen a huge lull since Dhurandhar and to a lesser extent Border 2, sees a upturn, before Dhurandhar 2 releases on March 19, 2026.

स्वागत कार्यक्रम के बाद, दोनों प्रधानमंत्रियों के बीच एक संक्षिप्त व्यक्तिगत बैठक हुई। इसके बाद जब प्रधानमंत्री होटल पहुँचे, तो वहाँ मौजूद भारतीय प्रवासियों और यहूदी-भारतीय समुदाय के लोगों ने बड़े उत्साह के साथ प्रधानमंत्री श्री मोदी का अभिनंदन किया। इस मौके पर भारत और इजराइल के कलाकारों ने रंगारंग सांस्कृतिक प्रस्तुतियाँ दी, जो दोनों देशों के गहरे रिश्तों का प्रतीक है।

ज्ञात हो, भारत और इजराइल के बीच एक सुदृढ़ एवं बहुआयामी सामरिक साझेदारी है, जिसमें हाल के वर्षों में उल्लेखनीय प्रगति और मजबूती देखी गई है।

इस साझेदारी के ऊपर प्रधानमंत्री मोदी ने अपने प्रस्थान से पहले देश के नागरिकों को अपने सम्बोधन में कहा कि - विज्ञान एवं प्रौद्योगिकी, नवाचार, कृषि, जल प्रबंधन, प्रौद्योगिकी, रक्षा एवं सुरक्षा, व्यापार एवं निवेश और दोनों देशों के लोगों के परस्‍पर संबंधों सहित, विभिन्न क्षेत्रों में हमारे सहयोग को और सशक्त बनाने के उद्देश्य को लेकर प्रधानमंत्री नेतन्याहू के साथ होने वाली अपनी चर्चाओं की मैं प्रतीक्षा कर रहा हूं। हम आपसी हित के क्षेत्रीय एवं वैश्विक मुद्दों पर भी विचारों का आदान-प्रदान करेंगे।

इस यात्रा के दौरान मैं इजराइल के राष्ट्रपति श्री इसाक हर्जोग से भी मुलाकात करूंगा। मुझे इजराइली संसद ‘केनेस्सेट’ को संबोधित करने वाला प्रथम भारतीय प्रधानमंत्री बनने का भी सम्मान प्राप्त होगा। यह अवसर हमारे दोनों देशों को जोड़ने वाले सुदृढ़ संसदीय और लोकतांत्रिक संबंधों के प्रति एक सम्मान होगा।

मैं भारतीय प्रवासी समुदाय के उन सदस्यों के साथ संवाद करने की भी उत्सुकता से प्रतीक्षा कर रहा हूं, जो लंबे समय से भारत-इजराइल की विशेष मित्रता को सुदृढ़ करते रहे हैं।

मुझे विश्वास है कि मेरा यह राजकीय दौरा दोनों देशों के बीच स्थायी संबंधों को और सुदृढ़ करेगा, सामरिक साझेदारी के लिए नए लक्ष्य निर्धारित करेगा तथा एक सुदृढ़, नवोन्मेषी और समृद्ध भविष्य के लिए हमारे साझा विजन को आगे बढ़ाएगा।

Press Release l SATTE 2026

  • “Tourism Now Central to National Development Under PM Modi”:  Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, Hon’ble Union Tourism and Cultural Minister

New Delhi, February 25, 2026: The 33rd edition of SATTE 2026 opened today at Yashobhoomi, New Delhi, with strong participation from over 2,000 exhibitors representing more than 3,200 brands across 60+ countries. Organised by Informa Markets in India, Day 1 witnessed high-energy buyer–seller meetings, policy-led discussions, and global destination engagement, setting a decisive tone for the three-day exhibition.

High-Profile Inauguration and Vision-Led Conversations
The inaugural ceremony was graced by Shri Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, Hon’ble Union Tourism & Culture Minister, Government of India, as the Guest of Honour. Other key dignitaries in attendance included Shri Suman Billa IAS, Director General & Additional Secretary, Ministry of Tourism, Government of India; Shri Kavinder Gupta, Hon’ble Lt. Governor of the Union Territory of Ladakh; Shri Pasang Dorjee Sona, Hon’ble Minister of Tourism, Government of Arunachal Pradesh; Ms Anita Mendiratta, Special Advisor to the Secretary General, UN Tourism; Datuk Manoharan Periasamy, Chairman, Tourism Malaysia; Dr Upasna Arora, Chairperson, SEPC; Dr Subhash Goyal, Chairman, STIC Group; Mr Yogesh Mudras, Managing Director, Informa Markets in India; and Ms Pallavi Mehra, Senior Group Director, Informa Markets in India amidst an august industry presence.


Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, Hon’ble Union Tourism and Cultural Minister, said, “Over the past three decades, SATTE has not simply organised exhibitions — it has shaped industry conversations, built enduring partnerships, and expanded the horizons of tourism across India and the wider Asia-Pacific region. What makes this moment particularly significant is that India’s tourism movement has clearly arrived on the global stage. And when the world searches for experiences of that depth and diversity, it inevitably discovers India. Under the leadership of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji, tourism has moved from the margins of policy to the centre of national development. Through initiatives like Swadesh Darshan 2.0, we are building sustainable destinations rooted in local culture and ecology. Spiritual circuits are witnessing a historic revival, whether in Ayodhya, Ujjain, Kashi or other sacred cities, where rejuvenation and infrastructure upgrades have transformed pilgrimage tourism into a world-class experience. Through other initiatives such as Dekho Apna Desh, Indians are rediscovering India, and domestic tourism has reached unprecedented levels, energising Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities. This strong internal demand makes India one of the most resilient tourism markets globally. To investors and industry leaders gathered here today, this year’s theme for SATTE, “An Opportunity Called India”, is not an aspiration; it is a reality. The coming decade will belong to nations that successfully combine culture with commerce, and India is uniquely positioned to lead this transformation.”

Held under the theme ‘An Opportunity Called India’, a key highlight of Day 1 was the special address by Anita Mendiratta, who spoke about India’s rising leadership role in shaping global travel narratives and its growing strategic relevance for international tourism stakeholders.

Inaugural sessions including Reimagining Incredible India!, India: The Next Travel Goldmine, India’s MICE Readiness: Evolving Landscape, Agency-Led Growth: Mastering the Digi Shift, and From Hype to Habit: How AI is Reshaping Global Travel were conducted through fireside chats and panel discussions. These conversations underscored tourism’s expanding economic contribution and its role in employment generation, infrastructure development, and regional growth. With participation from central and state tourism authorities, discussions centred on Tourism Vision 2047, air connectivity expansion, MICE infrastructure, sustainable tourism frameworks, and public–private collaboration.

Shri Suman Balla, IAS, DC & Additional Secretary, Ministry of Tourism, Govt of India, said, “As we gather for the 33rd edition of SATTE, I am reminded of how far this platform has come. What began as a promising industry gathering has evolved into a truly world-class exhibition, made possible by outstanding infrastructure like Yashobhoomi and the sustained efforts of the organisers. India today stands at the beginning of a long-term tourism growth cycle. With 20 million inbound visitors, 30 million outbound travellers, and a domestic market that has surged to nearly 3 billion journeys, demand is significantly outpacing supply. That makes this the right time and the right place to invest in India’s tourism story. Our focus at the Ministry is clear: enabling easier travel through digital innovation and infrastructure, and improving the ease of doing business through reforms and deregulation. For those betting on India: be ambitious, think long term, and seize the opportunity.”

Pasang Dorjee Sona, Minister of Tourism, Govt of Arunachal Pradesh, said, “SATTE is a powerful platform that brings the world of tourism together and gives emerging destinations the visibility they truly deserve. I come from Arunachal Pradesh where our diversity is our greatest strength. Though small in population, just 1.3 million people across 84,000 square kilometres, Arunachal holds extraordinary tourism potential. We are the land of the first sunrise in India, home to over 23 major tribes and rich cultural traditions. From tropical valleys to snow-clad mountains, from spiritual heritage to adventure landscapes, we offer experiences in every direction. With improved connectivity and government support, Arunachal is emerging as a must-visit destination.”

Kavinder Gupta, Governor of the Union Territory of Ladakh, said, “For over three decades, SATTE has served as a vital bridge connecting global travel professionals and shaping the direction of the tourism industry.  Also, under the visionary leadership of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji, Ladakh has witnessed unprecedented development, from improved electricity, healthcare and digital connectivity to strengthened air links and world-class road infrastructure, including the transformative Zoji La Tunnel. These advancements are ensuring year-round connectivity and opening new opportunities for tourism and local livelihoods. Thus, Ladakh today is not merely a destination; it is an emotional and transformative experience, and truly a must-visit for travellers worldwide.”

The conference sessions drew packed audiences, reflecting strong industry appetite for forward-looking dialogue and actionable insights.

Commenting on the opening day, Mr Yogesh Mudras, Managing Director, Informa Markets in India, said, “India’s tourism story today is powered by triple-engine growth — domestic, outbound, and inbound. With over 303 crore domestic tourist visits annually, the domestic sector continues to anchor the industry, with experiential, spiritual, and regional travel trends accelerating growth in tier-2 and tier-3 destinations. While Indian outbound travel is projected to reach USD 42 billion, improved connectivity and initiatives like Chalo India are accelerating inbound recovery. SATTE mirrors this momentum.

By bringing together 2,000+ exhibitors from 60+ countries, the platform goes beyond being a trade show — it becomes a strategic marketplace where policy, partnerships, and business opportunities converge to shape how India travels and how the world engages with India,” he added.
Anita Mendiratta, Special Advisor to the Secretary General- UN Tourism, says, “We’ve heard remarkable statistics about growth at SATTE 2026, but the real story of India’s tourism future is not just about scale; it’s about people. It’s not only ‘Incredible India,’ it’s “Incredible Indians”, who give this nation its soul. The pandemic reminded us that tourism is not simply about destinations; it’s about human connection and shared experience. Today’s travellers want authenticity, community and purpose; they want to know their visit truly makes a difference. India’s living culture, welcoming communities and expanding connectivity uniquely position us for this moment. Together, we have the opportunity to build a tourism future rooted in values, pride and partnership.”

Domestic and International Participation Highlights India as a High-Value Source Market
The momentum of domestic tourism is reflected in SATTE's scale this year, with participation from 28+ Indian states. Complementing this, the show's strong global presence—with representation from 60+ countries—highlighted India's importance as one of the fastest-growing outbound and domestic travel markets. Destinations across the Middle East, Africa, Europe, and APAC engaged actively with Indian travel buyers, signalling strong confidence in India as a high-value source market.

Tourism boards from Thailand, Malaysia, Maldives, Jordan, Egypt, Hong Kong, Nepal, Jamaica, and Vietnam showcased new offerings, strategic partnerships, and targeted campaigns designed to attract the evolving Indian traveller.

Technology, Sustainability, and Emerging Travel Segments in Focus
Day 1 also spotlighted technology-driven transformation across travel distribution and consumer engagement. Leading platforms such as EaseMyTrip, Cleartrip, TBO, and TRIPJACK demonstrated AI-enabled itinerary planning, mobile-first booking solutions, and data-driven personalization, reflecting the rapid evolution of India’s $25+ billion online travel market.

High-growth segments including MICE, cruise tourism, destination weddings, wellness, adventure, and experiential travel emerged as strong discussion points, supported by new infrastructure investments and curated offerings aligned with changing consumer aspirations.

SATTE 2026 further strengthened business enablement through Think Labs knowledge sessions, dedicated niche zones, and the Atithi Buyer–Seller Meet (in partnership with SEPC), designed to facilitate structured matchmaking and large-scale industry dialogue.
Sustainability remained a core theme across the showfloor, with increased participation from eco-conscious operators and initiatives promoting responsible tourism practices and reduced industry carbon footprint.

As SATTE 2026 progresses over the next two days, the focus will remain on structured business interactions, knowledge exchange, and cross-border partnerships, further reinforcing its position as South Asia’s leading travel trade exhibition and a key catalyst for India’s tourism growth trajectory.

BBN Internship Program 2026 l Always Catching Up – Never Arriving

By - Jui Deshpande


Being in your late teens and early twenties is often a state of confusion. You’re excited to live and experience this new era which looks like freedom. Yet it is time people feel most stuck. It is a phase where nothing feels completely figured out, and the perfect life plan exists only in your diary, not in reality. Watching others achieve things that still feel distant to you, or seeing people afford what you can only dream of, quietly creates a lingering pressure. The fear is not always loud, but it stays : the fear of falling behind.


We see countless stories on the internet that highlight only success, rarely show us behind  the scenes. The stress, struggle, or privilege behind it. This creates a constant feeling that no matter how much effort we put into our own journey, it is never enough. For many, comparison with friends and peers quietly grows, even when they try hard to avoid it. Watching others achieve stability, clarity, or success can create a silent pressure to keep up. Over time, this comparison slowly begins to shape how we see our own progress and worth.

This fear begins to affect the mind more than reality itself. It slowly turns into self-doubt, constant overthinking, and emotional exhaustion. Many begin to question their choices, their pace, and even their abilities. There is a quiet feeling of being lost, as if everyone else is already sailing while you are still searching for direction. The pressure does not always come from outside; often, it grows silently within.

When I spoke to people my age, a common pattern appeared. Many admitted that the fear of falling behind is strongest when it comes to career and stability. Watching friends secure jobs, plan higher studies, or seem more certain about their future often creates silent comparison, even when journeys are completely different. Some described feeling out of place, as if everyone else understood life better or moved faster. Interestingly, many also realised that this fear is often created by comparison rather than reality, a race where each person is unknowingly running on a different path.

Over time, many begin to realise that this fear is not always rooted in reality, but in comparison and expectations. Every individual moves at a different pace, shaped by different circumstances, opportunities, and choices. They are aware of this but accepting this fact is harder.  Success, too, holds a different meaning for everyone : for some it is stability, earning money, for others peace of mind, growth, or simply becoming a better version of themselves. When viewed beyond comparison, the idea of “falling behind” begins to lose its weight.

Perhaps life was never meant to be a race with a fixed timeline. The fear of falling behind reminds us more about our doubts than our reality. Progress is not always visible, and direction is not always clear, yet movement continues in its own quiet way. In learning to trust our own journey rather than measure it against others, we may realise that we were never truly behind, only moving differently.

Cinema l Secrets Out Finally

By - Amit kumaR Agarwal


Perception is what Bollywood is about - this make-believe world is, more often than not - operating under illusions. Is that the reason why the success rate of films is a mere 7%.

This article and video of Anubhav Sinha today, in the highest circulated English daily in the world, proves yet again - how media-reports change the perception of the film.

When I reported in 2011 while writing for a newspaper that Ra.One bombed at the BO, my editor asked me, "isn't the film a hit; everyone is calling it so"

"So", I answered, "mam, everyone knows about advertorials, PR and other activities, the film being called a hit is just a PR gimmick, because earlier Billu and My Name Is Khan too were flops".

But the perception was built; even today when I tell people that post-2007 only hits Shahrukh has delivered are all with Deepika - OSO, Chennai Express, Happy New Year, Pathan and Jawan - you can count them on fingers.

Another similar film that was perceived to be a hit was, "Gangs of Wasseypur" - in fact there are so many films that media referred to as hits, doling four or five stars to yawn-yarns.

Yes, these media-made hits are - 'are' because, media still propels films like O Romeo and Assi - doling out three or four stars to these turkeys - these 'perceived successes' are the reason for Hindi cinema churning out flops.

Thankfully, Anubhav now acknowledges that Ra.One failed at the BO.

AI Impact Summit 2026 l Press Release l Dell Technologies

Dell Technologies Launches AI India Blueprint at India AI Impact Summit 2026 to Advance India’s Trusted and Sovereign AI Future

Story Highlights
  • The Dell India AI Blueprint presents a national execution framework to scale artificial intelligence as a core pillar of India’s Digital Public Infrastructure, aligned with Viksit Bharat 2047
  • The framework supports India’s policy priorities including the IndiaAI Mission, Digital Personal Data Protection Act and the Safe and Trusted AI framework
  • The blueprint outlines clear recommendations across sovereign AI infrastructure, energy-resilient data centres, federated data foundations, workforce development and responsible governance

New Delhi, India – February 20, 2026 – Dell Technologies today announced the launch of its AI India Blueprint, “Advancing India’s AI Future: A Blueprint for Trusted, Secure and Nationwide Success,” at the India AI Impact Summit 2026. It provides a structured, execution-focused framework to help India translate its AI ambition into national-scale impact, positioning artificial intelligence as the next evolution in India’s Digital Public Infrastructure ecosystem.

India has demonstrated global leadership in deploying digital platforms at population scale through initiatives such as Aadhaar, UPI and the broader Digital Public Infrastructure ecosystem. As AI becomes central to economic competitiveness, governance and innovation, The Dell India AI Blueprint outlines how India can move from pilots to production by treating AI as a shared national capability rather than a fragmented set of technology projects.

Why it matters
AI has the potential to drive productivity gains across every sector, modernise public services and strengthen India’s strategic autonomy in the global digital economy. Industry estimates indicate that AI workloads in India are projected to grow at approximately 30 percent CAGR through 2030, while the IndiaAI Mission anticipates national compute demand in the 12–15 exaFLOPS range by the end of the decade. At the same time, projections suggest that data centres could consume up to 8% of India’s electricity by 2030, underscoring the need for coordinated infrastructure and energy planning.

The Dell India AI Blueprint addresses these realities by offering practical recommendations to convert policy ambition, including the IndiaAI Mission and the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, into scalable, trusted and energy-aware execution.

A clear execution framework for nationwide AI adoption

The Blueprint is anchored around three mutually reinforcing pillars, each supported by targeted recommendations:

INVEST
Establish sovereign, resilient AI infrastructure at national scale by expanding AI compute capacity, energy-efficient data centres and lawful, federated data foundations. The blueprint calls for a national AI compute strategy with defined capacity targets, regional deployment aligned with innovation clusters and transparent access for startups, academia, MSMEs and public institutions. It also emphasizes integrating compute growth with power availability, connectivity and sustainability while accelerating domestic manufacturing to strengthen supply-chain resilience.

INNOVATE
With India projected to require nearly one million AI professionals by 2030, the blueprint emphasises coordinated workforce development across education, industry and government. Key recommendations include integrating AI literacy across education, expanding AI Centres of Excellence beyond metro cities, establishing civil service AI academies and enabling applied research and innovation through open, sovereign AI ecosystems.

EVOLVE
As AI systems become more pervasive across critical sectors, the blueprint reinforces the importance of trust-by-design. It supports India’s principles-based and sector-led governance approach while recommending clearer operational guidance, stronger AI cybersecurity baselines and wider adoption of Zero Trust architectures. The framework also calls for enhanced provenance, testing and assurance mechanisms to address emerging risks such as data poisoning, adversarial attacks and model misuse.

Dell’s commitment to India’s AI future
With AI adoption accelerating and infrastructure demand moving toward exaFLOP scale, execution will define India’s next phase of digital leadership. Dell Technologies brings decades of experience supporting mission-critical digital platforms in India and global leadership in end-to-end AI infrastructure to help enable this transition.

Through the launch of The Dell India AI Blueprint at the India AI Impact Summit 2026, Dell Technologies reinforces its long-term commitment to supporting India’s AI ambitions by enabling innovation that is secure, scalable, and aligned with the nation’s goals of digital sovereignty and inclusive growth.

Perspectives
"India is at a pivotal moment in its digital transformation journey, with AI poised to become a cornerstone of national progress. The Dell India AI Blueprint outlines a practical framework to harness AI in a way that benefits everyone, ensuring it is trusted, inclusive, and aligned with India’s unique strengths and goals. By investing in sovereign infrastructure, fostering innovation through collaboration, and leveraging the power of public-private partnerships, India can build a robust AI ecosystem that drives innovation and inclusion. At Dell Technologies, we are proud to support India’s AI vision by enabling the infrastructure, partnerships, and expertise needed to turn this ambition into reality." - Vivek Mohindra, Senior Vice President and Special Advisor to the Vice Chair and COO, Dell Technologies

"India’s strength lies in its ability to innovate and adapt technology to meet the needs of its people. As we embark on this next chapter of AI adoption, it’s critical to focus on building solutions that are not only scalable and secure but also deeply aligned with India’s unique priorities of inclusion, resilience, and self-reliance. At Dell Technologies, we are committed to working closely with the IndiaAI Mission and other stakeholders to create AI infrastructure that empowers local talent, modernises public services, and drives meaningful progress. Our AI Blueprint reflects our belief that AI will be a transformative force for good, enabling India to lead the way in shaping a future that is equitable, sustainable, and globally influential." -  Manish Gupta, President and Managing Director at Dell Technologies, India
